Yeah I hear ya. It took me a while to figure out how to display my collection as well. I kept everything sealed in their boxes until I made a decision. I saw other collectors with the Detolf cases and really liked the look. The only disadvantage I think is the amount of wasted space left over if you place the figures directly on the glass shelves. That's why I decided to go with clear risers as well. Also, helps minimize the amount of cases I need to buy.

I've seen the cases before but without the use of the risers and while I've always liked the look of the cabinets the space issue was a concern that kept me from buying. Do the risers allow for the figures to be displayed with wide stances 3/4 type stances??

Yeah, there's definitely space for plenty of display options. The risers are the best I've found for maximizing the width of each shelf. I put three to a row typically, but you can fit 4 to row if needed. If have to, I'll put 12 on each shelf/cube and try not to add a fourth case. I'm about to take Granamyr out so I can add another stair raiser for the Filmation sub. Although, I do love the look of him in the case, plus it cuts back on dust somewhat.

Thanks, and yeah it is, complete aside from missing the manuals....I had them, stored them in a separate place as a kid....now...who knows where they got to....Still has the store sticker on it....$159.99....1986 price....I got it for Christmas that year.

Also has the Orange Zapper, not the gray one. I also still have my SNES box, but the deck broke, and I need to get a new one eventually.

Crazy as it sounds, the NES is the only gaming device/console I give a crap about. It's nostalgia driven. Played the hell out of it when I was a kid.

I still play it from time to time, Guardian Legend is one of my favorite games to this day, I just wish they'd make an update and port it or a sequel to it....I'd love it for my DS....but to this day, the Mario games are my favorites and Zelda....

As I was messing around with Octavia, I began to wonder more about her origins; just random stuff. I like how some of the characters are members of a specific race (snakemen, Whiplash, Webstor, Merman, Stratos) and others are one time monsters or magically enhanced beings ( Two Bad, Stinkor, Faker, Leech, ModuloK).

I like to think Octavia is unique. Maybe she was human and is now some sort of Davey Jones creature like in Pirates of the Carribean, or maybe she's the spawn of some from the union of a Cthulhu monstrosity and some Etherian wench? Maybe she can be tied to Bakul, the ocean demon that Mer Man summoned in that one Filmation episode?

I bet she can actually retract her tentacles when not in use, and then they just burst from her back when she goes into attack mode.
